Mycobacterium tuberculosis PE/PPE family proteins play a vital role in antigenic diversity, host-pathogen interactions, and immune evasion. As secreted by ESX-5 system, M. tuberculosis PPE27 is related to the growth and virulence of the bacilli. In this study, we expressed PPE27 in the nonpathogenic fast growing Mycobacterium smegmatis. We found that the recombinant strain exhibits higher survival rate under several hostile conditions in vitro and longer persistence in mouse tissues. The survival of the recombinant strains was also enhanced in the mouse macrophage ANA-1, accompanied by higher level of host cell death, higher secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and a slightly higher amount of interleukin (IL)-1β, which could be abolished by the nuclear factor-κB, p38, and ERK inhibitors. In addition, the recombinant strain robustly induced larger amount of nitric oxide (NO) and lower amount of IL-6 after infection of mouse macrophages. In brief, our data suggest that PPE27 promotes the survival of nonpathogenic M. smegmatis in vitro by manipulating the expression of multiple cytokines, NO, and affecting host cell necrosis, which provide a new insight to understand the functions of this gene.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
